    THE ROARING FORK LAND GRANTS Copyright and all rights reserved Lawrence J. Fleenor, Jr. Big Stone Gap, Virginia August 2018 (version 10-20-18) Foreword Roaring Fork of the Powell River is a special place. Its desolation and isolation are noteworthy. Its place in our early history is forgotten. Its remarkable geography is approximated by only two other places in the United States, Rocky Mountain National Park and Boone, North Carolina. It is one of the two major tributaries of the southernmost of the two North Forks of the Powell River of Virginia, which is the westernmost tributary of the Tennessee. It starts at the very spine of the Appalachians. Black Mountain, Indian Mountain, Pine Mountain, and Roger’s Ridge meet at Bakers Flats, a mountain top plateau. Water falling on Baker’s Flats can run off either into the Big Sandy River, a tributary of the Ohio, or into the Cumberland, which courses into Tennessee before reentering Kentucky, like an errant child. Or it can flow via Roaring Fork into the Tennessee, before it and the Cumberland both empty into the Ohio just before that river flows into the Mississippi. Just over the ridge to the west, the Kentucky River starts its journey to the Ohio. It once was the major route of travel from Powell Valley into Kentucky, and the Old Ohio Country. The old trails made by the buffalo, elk, and deer – followed first by the Indian, and later by the Long Hunters and settlers – came out of Clinch Valley and up Big Stony Creek to High Knob, and then across Little Stone Mountain to Kelly View, and to the mouth of Roaring Fork at Kent Junction.

Richard Henderson with a party of forty men was making his second trip to his settlement at Boonesborough. 1 They had passed through the Cum- berland Gap and were descending near Yellow Creek when they overtook two small families who were exchanging their homes in the Valley of Virginia for the land which lay just beyond the last range of Cumberland foothills.2 The children of one of the men were old enough to ride alone or to walk beside the horses. The other man, who appeared to be the leader, had undertaken a more difficult task, for his children were two small girls, the elder only three years of age, and the younger still a baby.a He was a rather tall man with light eyes, sandy hair, and a prominent aquiline nose. His features indicated the strength of his character/ The pioneer, William Whitley, was serving notice upon the wilderness that he was coming to stay. Whitley was born on August 14, 1749, in Augusta County, Virginia.5 His father, Solomon Whitley, had married Elizabeth *ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although it is not possible to mention al! of those who have provided information and guidance, there are some to whom specific credit is due.

  • Stealth and Secrecy: the Culper Spy Ring's Triumph Over the Tragedy Of
    Stealth and Secrecy: The Culper Spy Ring’s Triumph over the Tragedy of Betrayal Andi Bradsher Junior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2,496 2 A group of brave Patriots faced the hangman’s noose daily while fighting for freedom during the American Revolution. Their weapons were not muskets or bayonets but stealth and secrecy. The Culper Spy Ring made many important discoveries, including the identification of Benedict Arnold’s tragic betrayal, which led to the Patriot triumph over the British in the Revolutionary War. When the British Army invaded New York City in September of 1776, they procured one of the largest cities on the continent.1 General George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, needed inside information about what transpired behind British lines in the city. Having been an officer in the French and Indian War, he knew the value of advance knowledge about the enemy’s plans. He wrote, “There is nothing more necessary than good intelligence to frustrate a designing Enemy: and nothing that requires greater pains to obtain.”2 Securing those spies proved to be difficult. One of Washington’s first agents to go behind British lines never made it out. Nathan Hale was hanged on September 22, 1776.3 Washington realized that in the future he would need an organized group of people to gather information. He chose a trustworthy officer to be the director of military intelligence. Benjamin Tallmadge wrote in his memoir, “...I opened a private correspondence with some persons in New York (for Gen. Washington) which lasted through the war.”4 These “persons” operating on Setauket, Long Island, and in New York City together became known as the Culper Spy Ring.

No man except the bravest of the brave would be bold enough to depart on that journey. Merciless smugglers, deserters, and gunrunners, both rebels and redcoats or just acting for themselves, controlled the pond and the land surrounding it. Their monopoly often challenged by the British Royal Navy that was scouting for the rebel privateers and sometimes, but very rarely, for British refugees crossing the Sound under the flag of truce. From all these British sailors and officers, the rebels were particularly afraid of a notorious captain William Quarme who was in charge of the sixteen-gun brig Halifax and was very often accompanied on his voyages by the ruthless Queens Rangers.

Portraits of unknown soldiers of the American Revolution are unfortunately common and can take decades, if not longer, to identify. One such painting in the Institute’s collections has been the subject of a renewed effort to identify the mystery officer, aided by details revealed during much-needed conservation work. When we acquired the portrait, layers of dirt and grime, overpaint, and yellowed varnish obscured the original paint surface, and old water damage, flaking and lost paint, tears and cracks, and the delamination (or separation) of the painting from a lining canvas threatened the stability of the artwork. Conservation treatment addressed these issues and returned the portrait as closely to its original appearance as possible, allowing our staff and other experts to better assess who the subject of the painting was.

  • Starnes Tour 2014 Berea Condensed Talking Points
    Starnes Tour 2014 Berea Condensed Talking Points Welcome to Berea, Kentucky County, VA … currently known as Berea, KY. Near here, our family, in 1779, was involved in one of the most brutal massacres on record. In April of that year a family scouting party from Boone's Fort was looking for land when they chanced upon a marauding band of Shawnee Indians near Squire Boone's Rock near Blue Lick. All but one were killed (including Frederick Starnes II). The lone escapee was Joseph Starnes. This year, we are headed on a journey that will take us to a re-creation of Boone's Fort, the massacre site, and the first brick home in Kentucky belonging to the discoverer of the massacred bodies, William Whitley from Logan's fort. Again, we will be looking at a chronological list of important family events with corresponding national and international events posted in red for reference. Approximate US Interstate mile markers are given parenthetically. Important rivers are illustrated on the map on p 6. It is important to define the terms that are important to our discussion this year. These have to do with the concept of land ownership...which was obviously perceived differently by the Shawnee, the English and the western settlers, and caused a good deal of the conflict. Allodial title is a system in which real property is owned absolutely free and clear of any superior landlord or sovereign. True allodial title is rare today, but could be attributed to the early Israelites. Year of Jubilee. Such land is inalienable, in that it may be conveyed, devised, gifted, or mortgaged by the owner, but may not be used for collection of taxes or private debts, or condemned (eminent domain) by the government.

SOHASKY Department of History University of California at Berkeley The American Revolution was a precarious and uncertain period in American history in which loyalties were tried, ideologies were tested, and identities shifted; the conflicted role of espionage in the American Revolution offers insight into this formative moment in the development of an American identity disparate from Britain. Espionage had a critical function in the American Revolution, both militarily and politically. Intelligence secured by spies affected the strategic outcome of the Revolutionary War and the public imagination was strongly influenced by the exposure of spies. However, experimentation in espionage during the Revolutionary War has been little examined by historians, especially in a social or ideological context. This paper will examine espionage in the context of colonial norms and conventions in order to reveal how it contributed to the underlying social and ideological revolution of the American Revolution and the emergence of a truly American identity. Subject Category: History Keywords : Espionage, Spies, American Revolution, Loyalists, Patriots, British, Identity A CONDUCT INCOMPATIBLE WITH THEIR CHARACTER 1 ‘Circumstances of political importance, which involve the lives and fortunes of many, have hitherto kept secret what this paper now reveals.
